With all the NMA/MMA fights going on I don't know if anyone's still interested in old school boxing.
I've been a tremendous Pacquiao fan for years, but I think it's time for him to quit while he's still barely ahead. It looks like he's lost the edge off his speed, although he's still very fast. He also seems to have lost the ability to throw his vicious off balance left hand that came out of nowhere. He may have won this fight, but only because of the technical scoring. There's sometimes a thin line between respect and fear and it looked at times like he was afraid of Marquez. He's always fought like a Champion, but this time something was not the same.
Inexplicably, he also seemed unfocused at times. After the fight he claimed he had foot and leg cramps, don't think he should be using excuses.
From what I saw last night, Mayweather will systematically dismantle Pacquiao, if the fight ever happens. It won't be pretty.
Don't meant to be overly critical, I am just disappointed in the fight last night.

+1
but if the mayweather fight happens in hawaii i will be in the nose bleed section [drink]
+2 I agree- Mayweather will beat Pacquiao. I've been a Mayweather fan for a long time. I'm not a fan of his antics, but rather, I'm a fan of his amazing hand-speed along with his ability to slip punches. There hasn't been a faster fighter since Sugar Ray Leonard.

Mayweather gets a 90 day sentence for domestic violence.
